Real Madrid reportedly now have no interest in signing Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland following the imminent agreement of Brazilian wonderkid Endrick.

According to Sport, the Norweigian international is no longer a target for Madrid with Los Blancos changing their stance on Haaland following the signing of Endrick, who will move to Spain in 2024 once the attacker turns 18-years-old.

As per the report, Madrid are keen to develop the Brazilian sensation rather than go all-out to sign Haaland, which the La Liga giants estimate could cost as much as €180m (£154m) in 2024, with the City sensation breaking numerous scoring records this campaign.

Haaland joined City this summer from Borussia Dortmund and has already established himself as something of a phenom for Pep Guardiola’s side, with the attacker leading the Premier League scoring charts with an astonishing 18 goals in 13 appearances.

Indeed, talk of Madrid signing Haaland has been around ever since the striker moved to Manchester. However, this update seems to firmly put a nail in the coffin that Carlo Ancelotti’s side will move for the 22-year-old Leeds-born superstar.

Having missed out on Neymar over ten years ago, Madrid have been intent on signing the most promising of Brazilian talents with no expense spared, a philosophy that has brought the likes of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo to Europe, with Endrick next for the Spanish giants.

Real Madrid not signing Haaland is massive for Man City

Haaland’s time at City was always seemingly set to end with a move to Madrid after dominating England and winning the UEFA Champions League for Guardiola’s side. However, Los Blancos’ new stance changes everything for the Norweigian international. who could now need a new plan.

After all, Haaland heading to Madrid one day has always felt like a certainty. However, this change in direction might now see the attacker stay at City beyond his current contract, a situation that will send fear down the shoulders of many Premier League supporters.
